Marriage/Bank Accounts

8 years ago
I'm in a nightmare situation. My wife and I were married in the US back in 2003. I now live in the Philippines while she lives in NY. Our marriage is not working at all. She is a Filipina by birth. She is also a US citizen. I have a bank account in my name here in the Philippines, at BDO bank. I am concerned she will come here and drain my account and leave me in a bad spot. Can she do that if her name is not on the account?
